Auris’s Board will be strengthened by two new members on 28 October. Eveliina Dahl and Mika Saukkonen bring strong backgrounds in the energy sector, strategic management and infrastructure development.
Eveliina Dahl has strong knowledge of the energy sector and extensive experience of strategic and operational management in large organisations. Her leadership roles at Fortum and Elisa have given her particular insight into human resources management, procurement and business development in a rapidly changing operating environment.

His work with EQT’s infrastructure funds and the development of the biogas business at Ductor give him a broad perspective on renewable energy markets and opportunities.
